0008: docs: WIP multi-master rephrasing.
I like neither the new nor the old language much. I'd welcome input.
Why not multi-primary?
My understanding of primary is that there really can't be two things
that are primary in relation to each other.
Well, I think the same is true for multi-master and that's pretty common.
active/active is probably
the most common term in use besides multi-master.
Works for me and can always be updated later if we come up with something
better. At least active-active will be easier to search for.
What do you think about the attached?
I think this phrasing in the original/updated version is pretty awkward:
+ A standby server that cannot be connected to until it is promoted to a
+ primary server is called a ...
How about:
+ A standby server that must be promoted to a primary server before
+ accepting connections is called a ...
Other than that it looks good to me.
